Re: Watchguard Firebox

Refer to www.watchguard.com for more information about the company.
They currently have two products available.  

Firebox I - their initial product, Linux Based O/S, Windows NT and Linux
Management GUI, a management report console, and performance tool set,
Embedded O/S, floppy disk to save out configs to, allow back up of
config

Firebox II - much improved than FireBox I, has flash mem cards to save out
configs and such

Their previous marketing campaign was 1. Protect 2. Extend 3. Manage

Pioneers in the market of Internet Firewall Appliances, promised the
ability for a Back Office VPN (never quite worked well), 

If your company does need the bells, whistles, and other thrills of a full
blown software/hardware firewall, plus the inhouse knowledge of
designing/configuring/architecting a firewall solution, then a WG Firebox
may suit your needs..
